Snow Report, 28 January 2026

By Nye Erskine, Updated

Meribel has settled into a very steady mid season rhythm, with the mountains looking well covered and the forest runs holding a proper alpine feel. From the valley floor up to the higher bowls, the season now feels in full swing, and conditions across the ski area reflect that. There is a calm confidence to the skiing at the moment, with reliable snow underfoot and few surprises day to day.

Snow and Weather Summary

Current snow depths are around 220 to 240cm at altitude, with approximately 130 to 150cm at resort level. There has been little fresh snowfall over the past week, but the existing base remains solid thanks to consistently cold temperatures. Daytime highs on the mountain have been sitting between -7 and -3 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level generally below 1400m. Winds have been light for the most part, helping keep surfaces smooth and lift operations unaffected. Skiing is good across most pistes, with groomed runs offering firm but grippy snow in the mornings before softening slightly by late morning. Higher and north facing terrain continues to provide the best snow quality, while lower slopes can feel harder early on, particularly after clear nights.

Outlook & What’s On

The outlook for the coming days remains largely dry, with a mix of sunshine and passing cloud. Temperatures are expected to stay seasonably cold, which should help preserve the snowpack rather than bring rapid changes in surface conditions. Any snowfall signals remain light and mainly confined to higher elevations later in the period. In resort, Meribel continues its winter programme with evening events, family activities and live music across the village adding atmosphere without impacting skiing plans.

Snow Takeaway

Meribel is offering dependable winter skiing, with the strongest conditions found higher up and on sheltered pistes where snow quality is most consistent. Early starts suit lower runs, while spending more time at altitude will deliver the best skiing over the next few days.
